The Stack with Leerdammer

I was recently invited to become part of the 2015 Better with Leerdammer Blogger team. As a member of the team I would be challenged to create a sandwich with the ingredients provided for five days running. I am a big fan of Leerdammer and so for me, this is a delicious challenge to fulfil! I also love sandwiches! This is a definite win/win situation! This is Day Five!  The final day!




The ingredients list for day five was:  Stone Bread, Butter, Curly Lettuce, Cucumber, Tomato, Micro Herbs, Leerdammer Original, Relish, Olives, Pickle.

I used everything with the exception of Micro Herbs and Pickle.   I had no micro herbs and I didn't think the pickle would work well with the relish.  I did make my own hot pickled peppers however, using the onions and peppers I had been sent to use during the whole week.  It's that not waste thing.

 

And then I just stacked everything.   Relish (fruity pepper relish) on the bottom, then thinly sliced tomatoes, thinly sliced cucumbers, he Leerdammer cheese, my hot pickled peppers, lettuce, sliced onions . . .  stacked between two tasty slices of buttered bread.



It was simple and it was very tasty.   You do need to plan ahead a bit with this as the peppers need to marinate for 24 hours.  So worth it though.

I love these.   You make them one jar at a time.  Will keep in a jar in the fridge for up to a week. 

1/2 small red onion, peeled and sliced in 1/4 inch thick slices

ice water

1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 1/4 inch strips

1/2 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/4 inch strips

1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 1/4 inch strips

225ml of white vinegar (1 cup)

225ml of water (1 cup)

6 TBS sugar

2 TBS kosher salt

1/2 tsp dried crushed red chillies (crushed red pepper) 

Place the onion slices in a bowl of ice water to cover.  Leave for 10 minutes and drain.  Put the onion slices and bell pepper strips into a 1 litre/quart canning jar.  Bring the remaining ingredients to the boil in a small saucepan over medium high heat.  Stir to dissolve the sugar.   Pour over the vegetables in the jar.  Let stand, uncovered, for one hour.  Cover and chill for 24 hours.   They can now be used.  You can keep them for up to one week.



The cheese used in today's Sandwich was Leerdammer Original.   The popular classic convinced since 1978 with its mild-nutty taste: smooth, creamy LEERDAMMER® in handy sandwich-sized slices.

I want to thank Leerdammer for giving me the opportunity to rise to this tasty challenge.  I really do like Leerdammer Cheese.  Someone dare to suggest earlier this week that it had no flavour?   I have to say I totally do NOT agree with that statement.  Leerdammer is sweet, mild and nutty.  I love it!  A good cheese doesn't have to slap you in the face to be a good cheese.  If you are looking for sweet, mild and nutty, Leerdammer is the perfect choice!
